this year and another couple of years the general election, economic fairness. do you think that is going to be a major campaign focus just across this country, whether from the white house or elsewhere? >> absolutely. i think it starts now. it starts with the state of the union coming up at the end of january. and they're going to continue to talk about this. as we get closer and closer to 2014. when you look at the minimum wage, it's a national trend to have this race. 21 states now have rates that are above the current federal m minimum wage. so democrats, i think, have a real foothold in this message. >> all right. i want to talk about the president's vacation, lynn, with you. he's back in d.c. today, having been greeted by this terrible weather. "the new york times" called this vacation a real and rare vacation in hawaii because you're going to remember, both of you, the year before the president had to return to washington in the middle of the vacation to deal with the fiscal showdown mess. you think this will reenergize the president as he works to try to
